OK. They submitted a defence and we've got our copy. It's full of denials that they did any wrong. Should I post an edited copy here, or is that not allowed whilst the case is ongoing ?

I have to admit that a lot of it went above my head when I first read it, but I now realise I should have had our POC to hand to see what number point they were disputing and why. If I post their defence I would also have to post our PC otherwise nobody else will make any sense of it either...

I'm not bothered that they've denied everything, that's their defence of course. From what's been said here and in other threads, it's more a case now of getting a court date and wait for BC to contact us with an offer...

remove all names barcodes etc

see my natwest thread to see how I did it

Hi Hillards,

We don't need to see the BC defence.

Get to work on amassing your court bundle (evidence) for submission when required.

We don't need to see the BC defence.

That's what I thought, not having seen any others. Bundle being prepared already, awaiting info from court on next move.

There could do to be a sticky somewhere to go over claims like this step by step, explaining what needs to be done at what stage. Also dealing with claims for time/effort as Litigant In Person ? Even if it's only a loose guide, explaining at what stage you can add in such things ?

As a precaution, some posts above are being removed until a review is carried out.

We normally recommend that one refuses to accept Confidentiality being imposed, but this is entirely a personal decision.

The reason we recommend that payment is received before a case is discontinued is that banks have been slow to pay in the past, once the pressure of the court process is removed.

Just to finish this thread, I understand that Hillards can't say any more about how this ended. However, Hillards seemed very happy a few days ago.

With Barclays cases, it tends to go quiet because they have agreed to settle a case paying the full amount claimed including compound interest, but the claimant has agreed to confidentiality.

So it may be that Hillard's claim has been settled in full but, because of confidentiality, they cannot speak further about it ..................
